Background History
The battle of Sailors Creek was on April 6th, 1865 during the end of the civil war. Confederate General Robert E. Lee's
army was retreating from the Richmond to Petersburg line. Here, on April 6, 1865, Union General Philip Sheridan cut
off and beat back about a quarter of Lee's army. Eight Confederate generals surrendered, and 7,700 men were lost.
This was the last major engagement of the war; Lee's surrender at Appomattox occurred three days later.
